Mother! My heart weeps
This heart of mine agonizes me everyday
I feed it my tears, still cries in hunger like a tot
It puts a guilt on me, Mother!
Reminding those words you once said
You will grow up and shine like a star
Making me proud, that fills my scars
You make it all so worthwhile for me
This torment and torture is taking it's toll
Had it not for you to care
I Would have been long gone
Helpless screams and howls , Mother!
Your cry for help still tortures my soul
I had no courage to come up and help
Mother! Think not I could not hear, I was only Six
Hovering under the blanket, All three of us
Sister, she was three and needed a cress
All I could do was provide her in distress
Days to come I wept in quietness
Digging my head deep into my pillow
Scared making sound that comes with a blow
Reason unknown for tears I shed
Sense of security it gave & sufficed the dread
My Heart still weeps for you my dear Mother
Sacrificed your life! Giving a future to us
My Soul weeps in pain, Mother!
You gave me a life and left without a gain?
